The dump bed is compatible with a 6" wood height extension. I'm thinking two red oak 2x8s 6 feet long cut to 6" width.
Any thoughts?

Dumb question - how do the sideboards mount?
It isn't obvious looking at the truck.

Looks to me you have side risers with channels to accommodate the boards.
If not, maybe there are reinforcements in the bed sides that would accept stakes that could be fastened to the boards.

I don't. The side risers don't have channels.
I'm going to spot weld 4 six inch long 1.625x1.625x1.625 steel U-channels vertically at the front and rear corners of the risers to receive 6 foot long red oak 2x8s ripped to 6 inches as drop in sideboards.

Sounds like a good plan.
